plot.NetworkSperical {netbiov} | R Documentation

## Exploratory visualization of information spread of biological networks

### Description

Global layout style:

A visualization of a network in a spherical form. The node with the highest degree is placed in the center, and its neighbors are plotted around this node in a circular manner. Whenever a node is encountered with multiple neighbors, the neighbors are plotted into the direction of that node. This process continues until all nodes are placed. This gives a compact spherical view of the network.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'NetworkSperical'
    plot(x, mo="in", tkplot = FALSE,
    v.lab=FALSE, v.size=1, bg="black", ...)

### Arguments

`x` | `x` is a graph object created from an adjacency matrix or from a tabular data of two columns using `graph()` function available in `igraph`.
`mo` | `mo` represents the mode of nodes. Can be either `in` or `out`.
`tkplot` | it is a boolean variable, if it is true, function will use 'tkplot' function to plot a graph, if it is false function will use plot function with the black background.
`v.lab` | `v.lab` is a logical value to show vertex label.
`v.size` | `v.size` is a numeric value to assign the size of nodes.
`bg` | `bg`is a color value to adjust background color of the plot.
`...` | `...` parameter for other inputs.

### Value

Plots the input graph object using `tkplot` function.

### Examples

      #Example 1
       g <- barabasi.game(500, directed = TRUE)
       xx <- plot.NetworkSperical(g,  mo = "in", tkplot=FALSE)

      # Example 2
      g <- erdos.renyi.game(100, p=.1)
      xx <- plot.NetworkSperical(g)
